The Questing Stones - a mysterious structure that moves from city to city throughout the Kingdom of Leshk. No one knows their origins nor the depths of their power, only that they will bestow upon any of-age citizen before them a [[{{Main/TheQuest}} Life Quest]] - the quest that will define their skills and {{Goal in Life}}. Some are called to [[{{Main/CalltoAdventure}} greatness in order to vanquish a great foe]], others are tasked to [[{{Main/TheAce}} hone a skill to the height of perfection]]. Some goals are straightforward, while others are complex and convoluted. The possibilities are endless.
For seventeen year-old Evelia Greene, the arrival of the Questing Stones in her town of Nowherested would be the culmination of years of daydreaming. It would be her one chance at breaking away from her boring home life as a seamstress' daughter. Whatever the Stones would throw at her, [[{{Main/JumpedatTheCall}} she was ready to take on]] - as long as it would let her travel the lands.
Her Life Quest is to obtain a loaf of bread. A Quest that has [[{{Main/HarderThanHard}} Legendary Difficulty.]] As a [[{{Main/ClassandLevelSystem}} Level 1]] [[{{Main/Joke Character}} Messenger Girl]].
While she would never be able to fathom why the Stones would give her such a quest, she nevertheless [[{{Main/ButThouMust}} sets herself towards completing it.]] Ridiculous difficulty or no, she would have her [[{{Main/Determinator}} dreams of travel fulfilled]] and get that gods-dammed bread.

An ongoing LitRPG comedy trilogy by author J.P. Valentine. Originally written and posted on Reddit as a digital serial, the work garnered enough popularity to have the author publish it as as a trilogy of novels, called ''This Trilogy is Broken!'' To date, two out of the three titles in the trilogy have been published.
The titles under the trilogy are as follows:
# This Quest is Bullshit! (Alternate title: This Quest is Broken!)
# This Class is Broken!
----
!!''This Quest is Bullshit!'' contains examples of:
* AbhorrentAdmirer: Roric is plagued by a whole ''group'' of these.
* AcquiredPoisonImmunity: [[spoiler: Eve]] gets this eventually as a result of a passive skill.
* ActionSurvivor: Eve manages to survive dangerous encounters in her journey despite her weak and non-combat oriented starting class. While she does [[{{TookaLevelinBadass}} level up later on]], much of the initial parts of the story involve her being this.
* ActuallyThatsMyAssistant: Wes mistakes a First Mate as the captain of the ship they are on. It's actually the [[{{Main/IntellectualAnimal}} sentient parrot]] on his shoulder.
* AffablyEvil: Alvin, a cultist who captures Preston, is very cordial with his prisoner and offers him tea and friendly conversation.
* BadassBookworm: Wes, given his naturally high intelligence stat as a mage.
* BadassPreacher: Preston, as an Acolyte of Ayla. Though he is actually a [[{{Main/InsaneTrollLogic}} Priestess by class]] as the church typically only accepts female acolytes.
* Bait-and-SwitchComment: [[spoiler:Roric seemingly approaches Eve in a secluded alley and starts speaking to her about his [[{{Main/CurbStompBattle}}]] humiliating defeat to her]] in combat. Turns out that he merely wants to acknowledge his loss and offer to train her.]]
* BarbarianHero: Roric Ironarm of the Salfdir Clan, with the class [[{{Main/NamestoRunAwayFromReallyFast}} Hewer of Bones]]. A six-and-a-half foot tall muscular, [[{{Main/Coveredwithscars}} heavily scarred]], shirtless [[{{Main/TheBerserker}} berserker]] who [[{{Main/DualWielding}} dual-wields]] axes in combat.
* BeginWithAFinisher: Eve's general strategy to combat to avoid long battles of attrition.
* BoyishShortHair: Eve cuts her long brown [[{{Main/BrickJoke}} (not chestnut!)]] hair to this.
* BrickJoke: The residents of Nowherested apparently have similarly colored hair in the varying shades of chestnut brown. Eve refuses to call the color anything but brown.
* BrotherSisterTeam: According to the story that they use to get Eve (a non-combat class) into the adventurer's guild which only accepts combat-oriented classes. Wes and Eve aren't actual blood-siblings, though the time they spend together eventually builds [[{{Main/Likebrotherandsister}} this dynamic]] between them.
* ByTheLightsOfTheirEyes: [[spoiler: Eve eventually gains these after becoming a Manaheart.]]
* TheCaptain: Captain Abraham, a Level 39 sentient parrot who is the captain of the ''Freedom's Gale''.
* CharacterLevel: A central fixture in LitRPG genres.
* ChekhovsSkill: Eve's Stamina and Strength stats as a courier are meant to help her travel long distances quickly while carrying heavy packages. Eve uses these skills to save herself and Wes from tough enemies by [[{{Main/SuperStrength}} slinging Wes over her shoulder]] and making a run for it.
* ClassAndLevelSystem: The whole world of the novels is built on this concept.
* ComedicHero: Every one in the protagonist's party is this.
* ComicallySmallDemand: The only way to get Eve to face the guild receptionist is to bribe her with scones.
* ContrivedCoincidence: {{Played For Laughs}}. Every attempt by Eve to get a loaf of bread will inexplicably result in failure so that her quest can go on. The bakery would burn down due to a "baking accident". Otherwise, every baker in the city is simultaneously going on strike due to overpriced flour. Or the bakery just sold their last loaf before she stepped in.
** This is later ''weaponized'' by Eve to keep a Steward off her back in order to maintain her cover in Pyrindel.
* CrypticConversation: The Man of the Mists loves to engage in these.
* CrypticallyUnhelpfulAnswer: The Man of the Mists' response to almost every question asked by Eve. She eventually gets fed up and calls him out on it.
* Cult: One holes itself up in a dungeon that the protagonists are venturing into.
* Curb-StompBattle: [[spoiler: Eve as a Manaheart is able to absolutely destroy her opponents thanks to her monstrous strength.]]

-->-- ''Evelia Greene/This Quest is Bullshit!''
The Questing Stones - a mysterious structure that moves from city to city throughout the Kingdom of Leshk. No one knows their origins nor the depths of their power, only that they will bestow upon any of-age citizen before them a [[{{Main/TheQuest}} Life Quest]] - the quest that will define their skills and {{Goal in Life}}. Some are called to [[{{Main/CalltoAdventure}} greatness in order to vanquish a great foe]], others are tasked to [[{{Main/TheAce}} hone a skill to the height of perfection]]. Some goals are straightforward, while others are complex and convoluted. The possibilities are endless.
For seventeen year-old Evelia Greene, the arrival of the Questing Stones in her town of Nowherested would be the culmination of years of daydreaming. It would be her one chance at breaking away from her boring home life as a seamstress' daughter. Whatever the Stones would throw at her, [[{{Main/JumpedatTheCall}} she was ready to take on]] - as long as it would let her travel the lands.
Her Life Quest is to obtain a loaf of bread. A Quest that has [[{{Main/HarderThanHard}} Legendary Difficulty.]] As a [[{{Main/ClassandLevelSystem}} Level 1]] [[{{Main/Joke Character}} Messenger Girl]].
While she would never be able to fathom why the Stones would give her such a quest, she nevertheless [[{{Main/ButThouMust}} sets herself towards completing it.]] Ridiculous difficulty or no, she would have her [[{{Main/Determinator}} dreams of travel fulfilled]] and get that gods-dammed bread. After all, [[{{Main/TemptingFate}} how hard could getting a loaf of bread really be?]]
An ongoing LitRPG comedy trilogy by author J.P. Valentine. Originally written and posted on Reddit as a digital serial, the work garnered enough popularity to have the author publish it as as a trilogy of novels, called ''This Trilogy is Broken!'' To date, two out of the three titles in the trilogy have been published.
The titles under the trilogy are as follows:
# This Quest is Bullshit! (Alternate title: This Quest is Broken!)
# This Class is Broken!
----
!!''This Quest is Bullshit!'' contains examples of:
* AbhorrentAdmirer: Roric is plagued by a whole ''group'' of these.
* AcquiredPoisonImmunity: [[spoiler: Eve]] gets this eventually as a result of a passive skill.
* ActionSurvivor: Eve manages to survive dangerous encounters in her journey despite her weak and non-combat oriented starting class. While she does [[{{TookaLevelinBadass}} level up later on]], much of the initial parts of the story involve her being this.
* ActuallyThatsMyAssistant: Wes mistakes a First Mate as the captain of the ship they are on. It's actually the [[{{Main/IntellectualAnimal}} sentient parrot]] on his shoulder.
* AffablyEvil: Alvin, a cultist who captures Preston, is very cordial with his prisoner and offers him tea and friendly conversation.
* BadassBookworm: Wes, given his naturally high intelligence stat as a mage.
* BadassPreacher: Preston, as an Acolyte of Ayla. Though he is actually a [[{{Main/InsaneTrollLogic}} Priestess by class]] as the church typically only accepts female acolytes.
* Bait-and-SwitchComment: [[spoiler:Roric seemingly approaches Eve in a secluded alley and starts speaking to her about his [[{{Main/CurbStompBattle}}]] humiliating defeat to her]] in combat. Turns out that he merely wants to acknowledge his loss and offer to train her.]]
* BarbarianHero: Roric Ironarm of the Salfdir Clan, with the class [[{{Main/NamestoRunAwayFromReallyFast}} Hewer of Bones]]. A six-and-a-half foot tall muscular, [[{{Main/Coveredwithscars}} heavily scarred]], shirtless [[{{Main/TheBerserker}} berserker]] who [[{{Main/DualWielding}} dual-wields]] axes in combat.
* BeginWithAFinisher: Eve's general strategy to combat to avoid long battles of attrition.
* BoyishShortHair: Eve cuts her long brown [[{{Main/BrickJoke}} (not chestnut!)]] hair to this.
* BrickJoke: The residents of Nowherested apparently have similarly colored hair in the varying shades of chestnut brown. Eve refuses to call the color anything but brown.
* BrotherSisterTeam: According to the story that they use to get Eve (a non-combat class) into the adventurer's guild which only accepts combat-oriented classes. Wes and Eve aren't actual blood-siblings, though the time they spend together eventually builds [[{{Main/Likebrotherandsister}} this dynamic]] between them.
* ByTheLightsOfTheirEyes: [[spoiler: Eve eventually gains these after becoming a Manaheart.]]
* TheCaptain: Captain Abraham, a Level 39 sentient parrot who is the captain of the ''Freedom's Gale''.
* CharacterLevel: A central fixture in LitRPG genres.
* ChekhovsSkill: Eve's Stamina and Strength stats as a courier are meant to help her travel long distances quickly while carrying heavy packages. Eve uses these skills to save herself and Wes from tough enemies by [[{{Main/SuperStrength}} slinging Wes over her shoulder]] and making a run for it.
* ClassAndLevelSystem: The whole world of the novels is built on this concept.
* ComedicHero: Every one in the protagonist's party is this.
* ComicallySmallDemand: The only way to get Eve to face the guild receptionist is to bribe her with scones.
* ContrivedCoincidence: {{Played For Laughs}}. Every attempt by Eve to get a loaf of bread will inexplicably result in failure so that her quest can go on. The bakery would burn down due to a "baking accident". Otherwise, every baker in the city is simultaneously going on strike due to overpriced flour. Or the bakery just sold their last loaf before she stepped in.
** This is later ''weaponized'' by Eve to keep a Steward off her back in order to maintain her cover in Pyrindel.
* CrypticConversation: The Man of the Mists loves to engage in these.
* CrypticallyUnhelpfulAnswer: The Man of the Mists' response to almost every question asked by Eve. She eventually gets fed up and calls him out on it.
* Cult: One holes itself up in a dungeon that the protagonists are venturing into.
* Curb-StompBattle: [[spoiler: Eve as a Manaheart is able to absolutely destroy her opponents thanks to her monstrous strength.]]
* DefrostingIceQueen: Alex is cold and distant towards the rest of the party at first, refusing to interact with them outside of quests and jobs. She slowly warms up to them over the course of their adventures.
* Determinator: Eve keeps forging ahead despite her ridiculous quest. [[spoiler: This trait even helps her unlock an entirely unique class and skills.]]
* DontGoInTheWoods: The Cherry Woods are infamous for making adventurers disappear.
* DoubleEntendre: Eve's choice of jokes after [[spoiler: finding out Wes and Preston are a couple.]]
* TheDreaded: [[spoiler: Eve becomes this in the Proving Grounds. Her [[{{Main/CurbStompBattle}} defeat]] of Roric makes every subsequent challenger pitted against her either refuse to show up to the fight or throw it by giving themselves a lethal injury before the fight even starts.]]
*DrivingQuestion: What exactly is the nature of Eve's Life Quest? Will she ever get that loaf of bread?
*EvilLivingFlames: The Devouring Flame. One of Wes' passive skills is to be able to hear the flames whispering to him. They tell him to feed their insatiable hunger.
*ExperiencePoints: Another staple of the genre.
